PVC to brass

Without starting a great debate as i've seen on here before ,and just recently regarding a similar subject. Threading a PVC female coupling onto a male brass fitting? Teflon tape,pipe dope,both, or nothing?

Reliability is much better if you can configure it to use a male pvc fitting into a female brass one. WHen you tighten the two together, the brass can handle the squeeze, the plastic in the female fitting just expands and could eventually split. SO, don't overdo it and change if you can to put a male into brass.
